    spacious rooms
    nice layouts
    air conditioning

    Rooms feature nice layouts with good space and amenities for relaxation.

    Significant issues with air conditioning across multiple rooms, leading to discomfort during the stay. Bathrooms lack safety features like grab rails, which might pose a risk, especially for older guests. Noise from vents and general maintenance problems detracted from the overall experience.

    Do recommend for a budget stay

    Comfortable room, convenient location, the standard king bed in my non-sea facing room provided a restful sleep, and the breakfast options were decent, suitable for starting the day off right.

    great view
    friendly staff
    understocked kitchenette
    noise issues
    small pool

    The family suite provided a fantastic view of the beach, making it a great space for relaxation with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Breakfast offered a variety of salads and delicious omelettes, enhancing the dining experience with a lovely view. the kitchenette was understocked, lacking some essentials like glasses, and noise from nearby vents affected the master bedroom's comfort. the rooftop pool was small, which detracted a bit from the overall experience, though the ocean’s proximity compensated for it.

    spacious room
    great location

    the marine is right on marine drive along the beachfront in summerstrand, making it easy to take walks. the friendly staff made our stay enjoyable, always ready to help. our standard two bedroom superior room with a sea view was spacious and clean. plus, the 24-hour fitness center was a great bonus for staying active!

    a mild critique would be that some aspects of the hotel felt a bit outdated.

    We had a fantastic stay! The Executive King Room with Sea View was clean and spacious, perfect for our family. The breakfast buffet was delightful, and the staff at the front desk were very accommodating. Free Wi-Fi and 24-hour room service made our experience even better.

    The air conditioning could have been better.
